Application

I applied online. I interviewed at A&W Restaurants

Interview

It was a big group interview, but they would separate us, and I was interviewed by three people, the owner, the manager, and I believe the owner's wife. I was one of the last one's to interview and I think they got tired, and so my interview was a lot shorter than the others' who came before me.
